Sedgefield August 2010

It was a good weekend at the Greensboro Horse Show. The weather was pretty nice. Very hot and it rained only a little on saturday. Our riders and horses did really well. Stan rode Lucy in the Long Stirrup Hunter and did awesome! It was only his second show! Carlos showed Nighthawk in the 2'6" Special Hunter and was champion and reserve. Nighthawk just keeps getting better. It was Lauren's first show with  Aramburo Equestrian and we are so happy to have her with us! She and her horse Haley did really well in the Children Hunter. It was a great weekend hanging out with our little group. On saturday, everyone went out to Four Winds to have dinner with Peggy. The food was delicious!

BLOWING ROCK 2010

July 28 - August 1
August 4 - 8
Blowing Rock, NC

We finally made it to the Blowing Rock horse show and it was a blast. Of course we had crazy Blowing Rock weather but it was well worth it. The horses were great and riders were awesome. We started out the first week with Fandango and Carlos, Chuck and Abby, Wilson and Sandy, and Oriental and Carlos, and Roy and Elizabeth on the weekend. They all did really well even in the dense fog! Fandango did the 1.05m and 1.30m classes. Chuck and Abby did the Children Hunters and a couple medal classes. Wilson did the 3' pre-green hunters with Carlos and the Adult Hunters with Sandy. On the weekend, Oriental did the 1.30 class and the 1.30m Russell Hall Memorial Speed class. Last but not least, Roy and Elizabeth did the Short Stirrup Hunters.
At the end of the first week we got all dressed up and went to the Blowing Rock Gala. It was a night of food, conversation, and dancing. So much fun!
The second week's weather wasn't as foggy and the horses were even better. Fandango and Carlos won the 1.05m class and ended up 9th in the 1.35m L.P. Tate Jumper Classic! Oriental and Sophy were 6th in the 1.05m class and 6th in the L.P Tate Jumper Classic with Carlos! Abby and Chuck did the Children Hunter division and were really good as well as Elizabeth and Roy in the Short Stirrup Hunters.
Overall it was a successful two weeks. We all had tons of fun hanging out and catching up with friends. Cant wait for next year!
